    Struck out. I'm a 0 for every release 2020 or more recent. We'll see how it goes in the fastest finger draw shoot out on Tuesday.

    Didn't work for 2020 and 2021 (or DBA)!... our deal, their bottles for my avatar commitment, has broken down.

    Is it a coincidence that your avatar looks like it is putting up a fist to yell and fight?

    It was by design. One of my friends is a graphic designer and I asked him for a simple logo for my Sim Racing team, Blue Ghost Racing. There’s a few designs but ‘fighting spirit’ was part of the intent.

    So, you agree that you are antagonizing the Assassin? :grin:

    I wish they would either allow for Proxy or have a better pickup window. Since I joined BA, I think I have only been available to go to a bottle release (if I won, that is), perhaps, 4 times. This one, like most, occurs on a weekend I literally can’t make. Period.

    Everyone else allows for multiple weekends or a larger extended pickup window. TG should figure it the fuck out.

    This isn’t me being bitter (hell, there’s a good chance I might not enter anyway, given how far away I now live), this is me just thinking how they run these releases in 2022 compared to all other breweries is…terrible.

    As of now: 143 spots between 2:00-6:00 left on Friday and 96 spots between 4:00-6:00 on Saturday. Have they posted the live link for tomorrow yet?

    Honestly I think TG does this because they’re still a main attraction to decorah, so when they have these big 2 day releases people stay in the area and increase the sales for not only them but small businesses in the area, like the restaurants and I think there’s another brewery there too and they see a huge influx due to TG releases they wouldn’t see otherwise. If they do it over a 2 week span or so people would just come in get there beer and go and not spend nearly as much money in decorah. Also Luther graduation is the following weekend so they will be losing some of their work force soon and with Mother’s Day the week before I think that plays a role too.

    I’m going to be out of town starting Wednesday that week or I’d probably goto the dinner on Thursday but alas will be my first major TG release miss since 2020 assassin. Others I’ve either gotten a ticket or gone to the dinner

    It’s been awhile since TG brewed Sosus. I combed through Untappd check ins, and it looks like the last canning was likely December 2020. It was always one of my favorites, and they seemed to brew it yearly. Just wondering if anyone knows why it hasn’t made it onto their brew schedule in quite awhile.

    End sales were very soft on Sosus. From what I understand it was one of there worse shelf turds according to their distribution network.

    As a fellow Sosus fan I know how you feel. One hell of a beer especially if its fresh.

    Forgot to mention the last time I bought Sosus was from the brewery at $35 a case. Best deal I've ever gotten in craft beer, but it also shows how badly it was sitting.

    I see no mention of this but does anyone know if Assassin will be served on draft at the release?

    They will be rotating BA offerings but count on Assassin staying on throughout according to their Instagram reply
